Solid solutions of Ni-doped qandilite spinel (Mg2-xNixTiO4, x = 0-0.4) prepared by solid-state and citrate-gel routes were investigated as potential ceramic pigments or dyes. Fired powders were characterized by conventional solid-state and color-measurement techniques. The increase of Ni-doping favored qandilite decomposition in Ni-geikielite (Ni,Mg)TiO3 and Ni-periclase (Ni,Mg)O. In the ceramic route, Ni-doped qandilite was stabilized at 1400 degrees C, but still accompanied by small amounts of MgTiO3 and MgO. Remarkably, the citrate-gel route enabled the formation of single-phase qandilite already at 1200 degrees C (up to 10%mol Ni), and at 1400 degrees C for all amounts of Ni-doping. Ni-doped qandilite developed green colors due to Ni2+ ions allocated exclusively in octahedral sites of qandilite spinel, being the green colors of higher chroma in citrate-gel powders. Ni-qandilite powders were chemically instable in low-temperature (950-1050 degrees C) ceramic glazes, acting only as yellow ceramic dyes. Optical properties of Ni-doped karrooite, geikielite and qandilite pigments were compared. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
